SYMPTOMS
When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer to open a Web page that contains a table with a blank row between the header row and the first data row, and then you open the same file in Microsoft Word, the height of the blank row between the header row and the first data row differs in the two programs.
For example, when you open your Web page in Microsoft Internet Explorer, your Web page may look similar to the following:
Rank |
Position |
C/A |
Yds |
TD |
Int |
Att |
Yds |
TD |
Fum |
G |
FP |
|

210/349 |
2777 |
23 |
7 |
40 |
242 |
4 |
5 |
9 |
203 |
However, when you open the same Web page in Microsoft Word, the height of the blank row is much taller than in Microsoft Internet Explorer, as in the following example:
Rank |
Position |
C/A |
Yds |
TD |
Int |
Att |
